“Huge Advance” – New Technique Creates Common Sense-Defying Materials More Easily

Auxetics, which expand when stretched and contract when compressed, defy conventional behavior. NIST researchers have now simplified the process of using them. Imagine pulling on the long ends of a rectangular piece of rubber. It should become narrower and thinner. But what if, instead, it got wider and fatter? Now, push in on those same [...]
